Best Opportunity to Fondle Barack Obama Without Getting Arrested (2010)

My plan was to grab the presidents crotch. I was intrigued with doing something I could never get away with in the real world. But as I stood next to Mr. Obama, it seemed disrespectful. So I grabbed his leg. I wasnt the only one taking liberties with these wax folk: A guy posed with his hand on Britney Spears breast while his girlfriend snapped a photo. Simon Cowell sits in a corner, with freaking scary eyes. In fact, heres a good freak-out that works with all the figures: Stare directly into their eyes and move your face extremely close to theirs (like an inch or so away)  youll swear the figures are gonna start screaming or bite your nose off. Its spooky. Steven Spielberg is the most amazingly real figure in the place. Others dont quite cut it: Clark Gable looks like the real Clark Gables mentally challenged twin brother. Jennifer Anistons right eye is positioned significantly higher on her face than her left one. Mel Gibson doesnt look much like the real deal, but his Hitler mustache is a humorous touch. (Just kidding.) And Joan Rivers face looks more realistic than the one belonging to the real person. No surprise there. 6933 Hollywood Blvd., Hlywd.
